Job Title: Social Media Manager & Content Editor (JDM Exotics) – Instagram / Reels / WhatsApp

About Us

Japan Exotics is an Osaka-based luxury and performance vehicle export firm. We connect the Japanese domestic market with high-net-worth (HNW) buyers across the Middle East, the United States, Australia, and Europe.

Our role goes far beyond listing vehicles online. We focus on physical verification, compliant export execution, and clear, transparent communication at every stage of the process. To support this, we are looking for a long-term Social Media Operator to manage our Instagram presence end-to-end.

Important Note:
This is an execution-focused role. Strategy, scripts, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) are provided. We are looking for someone who enjoys operating within a clear framework and maintaining a consistent, high-trust brand presence.

Who This Role Is Best Suited For
• Performance-Car Enthusiasts – You genuinely enjoy cars and understand distinctions such as a 720S vs. a 765LT, as well as JDM culture.
• Process-Driven Operators – You are comfortable following step-by-step workflows and understand the value of consistency.
• Detail-Oriented Editors – You care about clean subtitles, accurate framing, and polished color grading.
• Professional Communicators – You can engage with affluent clients in a calm, polished, concierge-style tone.
